@Cipher Alright and i did? Oh bollox. I'll see to that when I've chance and hopefully before this time next week. Assuming steam doesn't break my SP like it did NTW...
Not a bad first aircraft to make from fuselage blocks. Like I said, it's all about experimenting. Play with it until you get something that looks nice ;)
@Destroyer5713 not a problem. I've decided to Nick the front of an engine as a subassembly, so I can see how it all goes together.
Thinking of making a Silverplate B-29 using it. Look it up if you've never heard of it ;)
HANDLING Could put some of the fighter-type entries to shame, although I find the size of the elevators can lead to accidental loss of control if too sharp a turn is attempted. 14/20.
SURVIVABILITY An aircraft this size will always look like a small town on radar, but its manoeuvrability coupled with face-melting speed and acceleration, C/Meas and an Anti-Tailgater System should see this thing through. 8/10.
FUNCTIONALITY: Bomb bay is nicely functional, as is the gear. Refuelling probe seems to go down instead of up though. 8/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: I'm terrible at level bombing, but even I managed to land a few hits albeit at somewhat low altitude. Perhaps reduce firingDelay on the bombs so that they can carpet-bomb? 42/50.
TOTAL: 81/100.
Out-blimmin-standing for an aircraft this big.
LOOKS:Sleek, modern and incredibly capable. Also, I like the addition of the LANTIRN pod on the port underside of the cockpit. 8/10.
HANDLING: Nice handling at low speeds, felt comfortable and not scary at all to manoeuvre right down to stall speed. Turning circle was quite wide BUT that was with full payload. 16/20.
SURVIVABILITY: Reasonable manoeuvrability combined with the presence of C/Meas would give this aircraft a fighting chance against both ground and air aggressors. However, it is kinda slow. I know, for a ground-pounder to work it normally has to be slow, but ~520mph without payload is asking for a bouncing by OPFOR. 7/10.
FUNCTIONALITY: Flaps functional, as is the custom gear (nice), cockpit view works well. The rocket pod activation is unique and I frickin' LOVE IT. Nice job on hiding the airbrakes too. 8/10.
WEAPONS DELIVERY: No questions asked, this aircraft can deliver pain with any single strike. Even a simple gun-run was able to take out the target, so its additional ordnance would likely easily achieve the aim. 48/50.
TOTAL: 87/100
Nicely designed, and functions like I'd expect an aircraft of this type and appearance to do so.
@orendel I recently had to explain to some idiot on instagram that the attack on Dresden was technically a War Crime on the part of the Allies. I'm sorry to hear it and I hate the fact that my country did that to yours.
What he said \/. Not a bad plane, Win can be hard to build on compare to touchscreen, though more detailed builds are always going to get a lot of attention. (Check @Kerbango 's page out for proof).
@Strikefighter04 I think so, I only recently unlocked the barnfinds feature. It's a stunner here...
+1Today is the final day for entries. Anything submitted after 2359 GMT today WILL NOT BE COUNTED!
That description is pretty hilarious. Especially the bit explaining their use as theme park attractions XD
Welp, I'm gonna get slaughtered no matter which category I enter. Awesome build though @GhostHTX

Ohka, meaning "cherry blossom".
Later renamed by the USA to the Japanese word for "Crazy" XD
DEMOCRACY ENGAGED
Using Fireweapons to release the bombs?! Me want
Thankoo! @diegoavion84
@Texasfam04 np, a little Whispering Democracy never hurt anyone. Except its recipient.
Oh yeah, the Brize Express!

For a redesign of the starter planes, this actually looks pretty nice!
Looks kinda like an A-26. Minus guns galore.
+1I'd recommend giving your future designs a description of some kind and perhaps another angle.
Other than that, nice build.
@Bossboy666657 it's child's play once you get the hang of it. Experiment a little and you should figure it out ;)
Aka scourge of evey sodding British and American plane in WT
I hate the moskito. I hate it more than anything else. It can outfly a Jug or a spit in WT 😠
No can do. Just spent all this time trying to fix it. Pitches completely uncontrollably, either going into uncontrolled loops or bunts.
@Vuki11 okay, I'll take a look on my phone and see what I can do. ItIt'll only be tested and proved on Low Physics though.
What fixes does it need? I can't work without specifics.
That was fast @Carsong1017 ! Thanks!
Shame that is was cancelled, looks awesome.
Wow. Niiiiiice
As soon as I saw the name PT109 I knew it had to be John's boat. Outstanding replica.
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L.
Now all its missing are the 4 7.62 machine guns and a tendency to flip over on the shallowest corner ;p
Lovely build tho.
@Apfelsaft In which case, Ilyushin Il-87 'Albatros' perhaps?
Is it meant to be a Russian-type or American-type aircraft?
That song is good, but I prefer This
+1LOOKS Like a bloody bruiser of a V-Bomber. 9/10.

+1Nicely designed, and functions like I'd expect an aircraft of this type and appearance to do so.
@Alien Yeah, it had literally just appeared in my feed too lol
It's somewhat similar in design to the Vindicator you built some time ago. Still, lovely looking. Will test when I get chance.
What's that doing here? Get it back to Star Wars/ BSG where it belongs!
+1This looks an awful lot nicer than my entry. I'll test it vs mine now tho
@Scottydoestuff gotcha.
Gaijin WarThunder 1.8 update leak?
+6There are a few major issues I have with this aicraft:
The tailplane flutter is TREMENDOUS. I can't get weapons on target because of it.
Overall handling is pretty poor.
This is based on a 400mph+ jet. I have A BIPLANE that can probably outrun this aircraft.
Solve those issues and I may consider upvoting the build.
+1@orendel I recently had to explain to some idiot on instagram that the attack on Dresden was technically a War Crime on the part of the Allies. I'm sorry to hear it and I hate the fact that my country did that to yours.
My sincerest apologies...
@Awsomur Not a problem. Note the name of the entry, it's the name of a (less well-known) British Polar explorer.
Why build it?
'Cause Murica
F* Yea!
Nice build but ugh I hate that paperweight. Britain shoulda made s better Barrier imho.
Still, you got the sleek lines and the curves just right. Spot on.
@doge For when you want to sink AN ENTIRE FRICKIN' TASK FORCE.
(Insert Dr. Evil Quote Here)
@dootdootbananabus fair enough, it still terrified me to (try and) fly however.
@ATHAIREN
It's pushing the rules a little but yeah, I guess so.
@TheRussiansAreComing Yep
Well... now gyros are a thing, VTOL is no longer quite as terrifying. Not quite...
@Morozdalisa Updated and modified variants of existing builds I will also allow within reason.
@Reaper9 Er... to hell with it, let's allow it. I'll update the rulesheet.
